What you can expect

  • Your experience begins with a warm welcome from your local host, who will introduce you to the essential Sri Lankan spices and fresh ingredients that give Kottu its legendary flavour. Under the expert guidance of a professional chef, you'll learn every step of the process – from preparing the traditional Godamba Roti to mastering the rhythmic chopping technique that makes Kottu so iconic.

    You'll get your hands dirty chopping roti, vegetables, eggs, and your choice of protein – all sizzled together on a hot griddle with aromatic spices. The class is fully interactive and designed for all skill levels, so whether you're a seasoned cook or a complete beginner, you'll leave with authentic recipes you can recreate at home.

    Once your Kottu is perfectly prepared, sit down and enjoy the feast you've created – the reward for your hard work. Your host will be there to share stories and answer any questions about Sri Lankan food culture.

    This hands-on cooking class is the perfect way to connect with Arugam Bay's local culture through its most famous dish. Come for the cooking, stay for the experience!
